Pair-o-Dice:I have a feeling I know what Kim Jung Nutjob is up to. Remember when we turned Japan into a greasy spot on the map? And then we helped them rebuild it bigger and better? Yea, he's up to no good.

I think their control over the country is weakening and they fear the commoners finally revolt. Having the devil aka the US attack them would be the best possible thing for them to secure power. But if we ignore them and they continue to build nukes, we'll be screwed then too.

Galvatron Zero:JPSimonetti: awalkingecho: Is this the part where the Imperialist Pigdog cyberterrorists have launched the pre-emptive strike and he is now justified at making war?

My first thought. It's funny, but one of those "There's a time and a place ..." moments our parents gave us speeches about when we did stupid stuff at school.

That had crossed my mind too. Un has access to the shiny red button right now. The last thing Anon needs to do is make this situation worse.

I would not at all be opposed to tax dollars going to finding and arresting whoever did that. It was incredibly stupid and could cost thousands of lives. Probably not, but still - just a stupid, stupid idea and they'd know that if they followed the news at all. The US government doesn't think anything will happen, but they're still on full alert because it MIGHT. That is reason enough not to poke the insane, starving grizzly bear with a stick.

It'll take another 18 months, minimum, before they can have another bomb. His people will have all starved by then.

If you are correct, then obviously this was the work of Ebaumsworld. Otherwise, /b/ pwnd Un.

I am sure it will be investigated to the fullest extent, if someone isn't getting spirited away to Guantanamo as we speak.

bluorangefyre:Well if this causes WWIII, I say once its all over and done with we find Anonymous and summarily drag them all to what's left of The Hague.

There is a right time and a wrong time to pull a stunt like this. While it most certainly had to be done, now wasn't the time.

The unfortunate reality of it is, whether or not it causes an incident, it's going to have repercussions. I would be quite surprised if we don't see new legislation to even further censor or limit internet access once things cool down. THANKS OBANON.

I've long been a supporter of our more skilled hackers - mostly because I think they have skills we will need in the coming yearsHowever, as was said up-thread? "time and place" and "don't taunt the paranoid"I'm a bit disappointed they didn't post something REAL and in a language OTHER than English, ftw

Someone wearing the trademark mask, with a current newspaper, standing in front of waving fields of grain, perhaps, with a caption "all this could be yours but for your government" perhaps.....or, if you MUST be an ornery person, a shot standing inside a whole foods store with a sign reading "warm snow and dead birds on aisle 57"

That doesn't sound like it would be for the lulz. Hacktivism goes about as far as you can throw it outside of a very small segment in that group, and you know it (obviously) as well as I do.

Depends on how involved China wants to get. And I know the day after NK's last nuke test, a couple hours before the State of the Union, Ruski bombers were intercepted circling Guam. Interesting timing; could be waiting for an opportunistic moment with forces tied up in the East.

Or not, but it's a remarkable coincidence and it's fun to put on a tinfoil hat sometimes.
